A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!
"Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill pail." George Orwell.

T.G.I.F + one!

It’s Saturday, so the ad biz is closed for the weekend. Except for all the poor
fuckers out there working through Saturday and Sunday on a pitch for a piece of
new business that deep down inside they know they have no fucking chance of
winning, and even if by some miracle, they did win it, they would lose it in six
months, ‘cos a new CMO comes in at the client end and wants to hire his buddies
at his old agency… The one that used to wine & dine him, get him tickets to
the Super Bowl and get him laid with high priced Ho’s. So, everyone on the newly
won and lost account will get laid off, management will award themselves a
“performance bonus.” And not a fucking thing will change. I suggest you drink
your way through the weekend and show up on Monday full of piss & vinegar.
Unless you have a better idea!
